Mr.Allen
Industrial Technology Education
|
I am one of two I.T. teachers here at JHS. The programs I use to teach students with are welding 3 years, drafting and cadd 4 years, and small engine technology 1 year. I believe that "teaching" is about teaching the student and the subject curriculum is only a tool. In addition, I also periodically teach a knife making class at MSU Northern during the summer. I enjoy my job and I thoroughly enjoy working with young men and young women. I have been at this game for 24 years and I still like it. I currently offer a 3 credit oxy-acetylene couse for college credit. There are also several other departments that offer dual credit courses. If you have questions about my programs or your student has questions, please use the link at the left or please feel free to call me! I like to hear from parents and I am looking forward to working with you and your student. My classes are reasonably tough and fair. I encourage young ladies to take my classes as they are often my top students. I approach every class as if my students know nothing of the subject area and proceed accordingly. Thanks and I hope to see your young adult in my classes. thanks for your time and concern for your students education.
